Predicting Social Integration in the Community among College Students
Herrero, Juan; Gracia, Enrique
Journal of Community Psychology, v32 n6 p707-720 Nov 2004
This article aims to examine determinants of social integration in the community among college students. Two-wave panel data from an undergraduate student sample (N = 310) was used to explore the effects of multiple sets of variables (personal, interpersonal, and situational) on social integration in the community. Structural equation analysis showed that personal (self-esteem and perceived stress) and situational (undesirable life events) variables made significant contributions to changes to social integration in the community. Implications of these and other findings are discussed. (Contains 2 tables and 1 figure.)
